SD ...

Thanks a bunch. We always like to hear "cool!". Actually, that's not me on the guitar ... it's a BIAB track. But, I did spend a ton of time getting it just the way I wanted it ... if that counts for anything!

Thanks for the listen, congrats and nice words! Best to ya ...

Hi All
Greetings from Anna Maria Island, Florida.
Being a big Hank Marvin fan and of his GJ recordings in particular, I have to say that is first rate.
Really enjoyed it.
Regards
Ian

Hi Ian!

Hope all is well down on the island. Sure do appreciate all those nice words. This is a genre that's almost forgotten about, over-looked, here in the States. But it's still popular in Continental Europe in the Jazz clubs ... don't know about the UK, though. Thanks again. Have a great vacation!

Very nice track! Did the real track soloists include bios? Maybe you ought to let them know they turned out some authentic, documentary grade riffs! I think this is big news though it will probably make ripples through the PG Music staff community.

Alan and Di:
What a nice little Gypsy theme to support
video. As someone who has edited his share of video, let me pass along my thoughts as to what makes the tune work so well:
1) Has that elusive quality of being able to fade the song in or out just about anywhere and right away the listeners are right back into it.
2) By the same token, editor could increase or decrease volume with great flexibility. That is, don't have to wait around to long for a good edit spot.
3) Song definitely says what it intended to say. Like the teacher says, everything else can be wrong, but if the song has something to say, it is a success.

I learned a lot just listening to it. Band in a Box never fails to amaze.
I will remember your health issues in prayer
this week & wish you recovery soon.

Hi Dan ...

Glad you liked the track. Thanks for the nice words on it. There's a very brief bio of the artist ... 2 or 3 sentences. But, yes, i can advise PG Music about the song being picked up.

Not real sure what you mean when you said it might cause some ripples throughout the PG Music Admin Staff. That could be a good thing ... or a bad thing! Ripples of concern ... or ripples of pride??!!

Thanks again for the time to listen and comment. Much appreciated!

Alan & Di

Really nice job and grats.

BIAB has "such" talented musicians that I've been thinking of adding a few songs that are all BIAB (not me) to SoundCloud??

Hi, Al (& Di) !


You found a genré that
is more seldom played
over here, but it is
a very intriguing genré that
must require a very high level
of playing skills at least
the guitar picking ?

I liked your production and
I also wish you all the best
of luck with it !

Cheers
Dani

Congratulations!

Having your material selected as the theme for a documentary is wonderful. Knowing you used Band-in-a-Box for the song project source material and didn't have to pay for the session musicians ... priceless! Sorry, couldn't resist. blush

Hi Al and Di

Well Done!! That is so exciting. I really enjoyed the track. I must say that I am venturing more and more into this type of stuff. With BIAB instrumentals I have never got a bad review from the pros. (The mediocre reviews have usually been with the stuff with my vocals). Looking forward to a link to the doccie!

Hi Joanne ...

First, thanks a bunch. We're pretty excited about the pick-up, too!

My vocals get a lot of, uh ... consideration, you might say ... Di's get adoration. That's fine with me! I've never pretended to be a decent singer ... merely adequate. Personally, I've enjoyed your vocals ... as has Di. And yes, BIAB players are exceptional ... love them!

When to documentary gets ready for air, I'll post a link. Thanks for the kindness! best to you ...

Alan & Di
